DC Dismantling the Lab

Ken Block-founder (along with Damon Way) of 8 Ball Clothing, Blunt Snowboard Magazine, Droors Clothing and a small entity by the name of DCShoes-started construction on his Park City log abode after selling DC to the Quik empire for somewhere in the neighborhood of $70 plus million (not including preferred stock options). Not too shabby.

It was understood that Block would build a second house on his 22 acre compound for he and his wife. This second dwelling would be home to them whilst team riders, family and other guests stayed in the current residence, otherwise regarded as the epicenter of the DC Mtn. Lab.

Although, an air bag was recently added this past 2009/10 season, it has come to our attention that the DC Mtn. Lab will be no more. The private shred-a-torium is in the process off of being dismantled. It is unsure if the house will go on the market, however as linked sometime ago, Block and wife are building a new habitat.

Now, if we could only tell you about another company's secret backcountry au natural private stash-we should probably wait until they give us the ol'go ahead on it (as we would trade teeth to ride it).
